Road tracking, lane segmentation and obstacle recognition by mathematical morphology

Presents the work performed at the CMM as part of the European PROMETHEUS project. The research deals with the road edge detection, lane segmentation and obstacle recognition in a dynamic scene acquired by a monochrome monocular camera. The image processing is based on morphological segmentation tools. The experiments on over a thousand images show that the approach works well on difficult cases such as dense traffic, and roads without land markers
